add verification of live service contract against specification via graph traversal

I would be inclined to downgrade this one in terms of priority, as one set of legitimate patterns could be swapped for another during the evolution of an API, resulting...

Vary body-example based on req param values (REST representations)

Looking at this more recently I'm of the opinion that if you just want the simplest possible random or indexed selection by default we have introduced a significant config overhead...

Use input as output for out-the-box sim

Can we make the assumption that the param means the same in both places ? Is it possible it could mean something different in the response ?

Use input as output for out-the-box sim

Test should extract values from body as it does for headers

I kinda get it... but I don't understand 'This fixes endpoint dependencies when calculating path to visit the endpoints.'. Then again it is too early in the morning :-) Did...

Testing of REST API methods using cross product of Mandatory, Optional and Unexpected parameters

Extending Protean to generate sample test code compatible with existing test tools

Hi Atul. Thanks for the feedback/ideas. We have plans to generate test code (we were going to have a go with clojure based test code to start). The idea of...
